Using a Cassandra client driver to access Amazon Keyspaces programmatically

You can use many third-party, open-source Cassandra drivers to connect to Amazon Keyspaces. Amazon Keyspaces is compatible with Cassandra drivers that support Apache Cassandra version 3.11.2. These are the drivers and latest versions that we’ve tested and recommend to use with Amazon Keyspaces:

  • Java v3.3

  • Java v4.17

  • Python Cassandra-driver 3.29.1

  • Node.js cassandra driver -v 4.7.2

  • GO using GOCQL v1.6

  • .NET CassandraCSharpDriver -v 3.20.1

For more information about Cassandra drivers, see Apache Cassandra Client drivers.

To help you get started, you can view and download end-to-end code examples that establish connections to Amazon Keyspaces with popular drivers. See Amazon Keyspaces examples on GitHub.

The tutorials in this chapter include a simple CQL query to confirm that the connection to Amazon Keyspaces has been successfully established. To learn how to work with keyspaces and tables after you connect to an Amazon Keyspaces endpoint, see CQL language reference for Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra). For a step-by-step tutorial that shows how to connect to Amazon Keyspaces from an Amazon VPC endpoint, see Tutorial: Connecting to Amazon Keyspaces using an interface VPC endpoint.
